Starc Return for West Indies Tri-series

Melbourne: Left-arm spearhead back in the fold as Lyon, Head also receive call-ups for Caribbean series.

The return of pace spearhead Mitchell Starc and the inclusion of Nathan Lyon and Travis Head were the major talking points after selectors named Australia's 16-man squad for the one-day international tri-series against the West Indies and South Africa in the Caribbean in June.

Starc returns to the Australia set-up for the first time since fracturing his foot in last November's historic day-night Test in Adelaide and undergoing surgery for an ankle impingement that had troubled him for 12 months.

"Mitchell has progressed very well in his rehab and the medical staff are confident he will be fit to play in this series," Chairman of selectors Rod Marsh said.

"It is extremely pleasing to have a bowler of his calibre back in the side."

Australia squad for the Qantas Tour of the West Indies: Steve Smith (c), David Warner (vc), George Bailey, Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, John Hastings, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Matthew Wade, Adam Zampa
